Whispers of Guidance

I am very torn. To be honest, I'm positive I'm being influenced by the absolutely gorgeous bottle (and it feels a bit insulting to call it just a bottle). These cupcakes are so much more spectacular in person. But my brain tells me it should be all about the juice. Of course my heart says, it should be about the experience and how it all makes you feel about yourself. And, with this sparkling cupcake, in my favorite spring green color, sits alluringly on my dresser, I feel better about everything. FYI ..... they probably have one in your favorite color in their Whispers Collection, they have several in the most lovely feminine colors. They are almost worth the Swarovski adorned treat alone. Okay enough shallow talk about the outward appearance, now for the fragrance inside. I think I am being objective when I say I love it, at first! It is a delicate green, floral and I do not usually enjoy a lot of green in fragrances. But the way it is blended is so alluring. Here is the problem. On my skin it does not have much or maybe even any longevity or sillage. It frustrates me beyond all reason, because I love it so much. It lasts much better on my clothes. It could just be my chemistry. My skin is on the drier side and somedays it is worse than others. I can however smell it on my clothing, so I guess I probably look a little funny smelling my shirt all day, but when I get a whiff it makes me smile. So I guess that makes it worth it. If you are lucky, it might last a lot longer on you. And, one last note, everyone rates these as over priced and I disagree. Yes, the price tag is high on full retail but the HOS website has amazing free gift offers that honestly makes the price very reasonable. Further, there are some fragrances that are this price and higher and the bottles are nothing in comparison. I am lady who loves gemstones & jewelry and beautiful fragrance and this sort of combines both! Definitely worth buying at least one cupcake!

Color me shocked. A scent that has patchouli and musk and it's not absolute trash on me. Smells very green, crispy, fresh. Mildly leaning sweet but fairly neutral. Not spicy. Slightly tangy. I dig it.. Edit: several hours later my 2 sample spritzes are going strong like 80% smellable. Dried down to something that's like clean laundry. Wasn't expecting that at all and it's great.

I received this bottle as a part of the free gift promotion when I bought some other fragrances. So, in my head I just thought "OK a freebie. Whatever!" Boy was I wrong. This is a sweet, slightly green and fresh easy to wear fragrances. I actually smelled it upon delivery and wore it before the fragrances I actually chose and bought. It is IMO a safe blind buy.

Just tried the discovery set of Whispers Of series and this was the only one that stood out to me in a good way (the others, oh good grief I could not with them). Smells like a fresher, greener take on Marc Jacobs Daisy and actually pairs well with that scent when layered. Has a dewy green and clean profile and I'm surprisingly drawn to it because I typically do not like green fragrances. This one is well-blended and although soft, it does have sillage and body. My mom, who has zero interest in fragrances, actually compliments this one every time I spray it on and it is a lingering smell in the room where I spray it. Highly recommended for those who like Daisy or meadow fresh scents that want an easy (albeit expensive) reach.

It opens soft and quiet even though it has that bergamot in it. The apricot note balances the typical citrus scent. For me this scent would be worn to bed or in the house as it's not as punchy as I would like. It's a subtle scent that puts me in a quiet reflective mood for some reason. It is perfect for a snuggle day with a good book, especially if the rain is falling lol. I feel like you could overspray this and it would still not be offensive.
